Sorry Robbie, this was the not a stroll -- instead the "Gulf War" happened
as revenge when Iraq occupied Kuwait.   I am not sure, but that should have
taken place in April/May 1991.  And there was another "Gulf War" before,
I think, during more than five years between Iraq and Iran (Persia) after
the emperor 'Schah' (= Cesar) Reza Pahlevi (who was before the son of a
donkey-driver) was overthrown by Islamic revolution guided by Ayatollah
Khomeini.

But anyway, it is not clear why Norbert Schultze was claiming that reason
of not celebrating his 80th birthday.
